Forty Creek Copper Pot Reserve

The nose is sweet corn, butter, caramel, a bit of wood and chocolate covered nuts. If the palate carried the nose, this would be stunning, but it simply doesn't make it there. It's fairly one-note, and that note is all sweet corn. A small hint of butter caramel shows, balanced by a bit of spice, but overall it's a letdown after the opening act of the nose. The best thing that can be said for this is that it is incredibly easy to drink, and not particularly offensive in any way. And for less than $30, if you find that you really dislike it, it's not a huge hit to the wallet.

Superb whisky. Much better than the regular standard canadian whiskies like crown royal etc. You can really taste the rye, barely, and corn distinctively. It's really rich and "dark" tasting. One complaint is that it does have a slight alchohol bite but for the price $25 you can't really complain.

Simply not as good as regular Forty Creek. Not as smooth
